From its modern capital city Taipei to places of incredible rural beauty such as Taroko National Park, Taiwan boasts a vibrant mixture of scenery. As stunning mountain ranges are scattered across the most eastern two-thirds of the country, most of the country's 23.78 million population are concentrated elsewhere. This includes some of Taiwan's best-known cities, such as Taipei, Taichung, Kaohsiung, Taoyuan, and Tainan.

If visiting Taiwan for its tropical weather, the best months to book your stay range from June to September, which follows the monsoon season and preempts the rainy winter. Taiwanese cuisine is a large part of the country, where you can expect to find many food options such as gua bao, ban bing, or beef noodles. Pair these delicious dishes with oolong or pearl milk tea, available in any city you visit. One of the most hotly anticipated festivals in Taiwan each year is the Taiwan Lantern Festival. The festival's destination changes each year and is dedicated to creating lights and displays to show off Taiwan's beauty.
